It might feel like spring and summer are far off in the untouchable distance, but the seasons will shift before you (or your wardrobe) know it. We’re prepping for that seasonal shift right now, by shopping the 5 biggest color trends of the year. These colors run the gamut from soft and springy (there’s a creamy, pastel yellow that we’ve coined mellow yellow) to bold and bright (there’s a vivid neon orange that we call tiger tangerine). The only thing these lively hues have in common is that they’re currently rolling out in trendy pieces from our favorite stores.
Speaking of our favorite stores…we’ve combed through hundreds of items on Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M, in order to find the best pieces for spring, in the best colorways. Keep scrolling to see all of the 30 items we found. These are sure to put a little spring in your mid-winter step.
